Siloxanes, chiral nematics

In 1985, around the same time as Canon started their FLC development project, another Japanese company, Idemitsu Kosan, started to synthesize materials with the goal of making a polymer version of FLC. There is a conflict in a liquid crystal polymer in the sense that a long polymer chain wants to be as disordered as possible, while the liquid crystal monomers want to align parallel to a local director. Nevertheless, it is possible to make both nematic and smectic structures and, in particular, chiral materials having an SmA -SmC transition. In one of Idemitsu s successful realizations, the main chain is a siloxane to which side group monomers (which would be normal FLC materials by themselves) are attached... [Pg.1669]
